The Kraken!  :fear:
One of my personal faves, just back from an incredibly short trip to Sarasota.  Kudos to CGC.  (thumbsu  It's always a kick to discover a new "top census" specimen in the wild, especially given that CGC is now in its 24th year of operation.  :banana:

Wow such incredible stuff for a new pch collector to take in! 

You and I both.  I've only been collecting them semi-seriously for a couple of months.  I don't even like horror movies/literature, but for some reason a lot of these PCH/Golden Age covers are appealing to me... it's a shame I only realized it in my 50's. lol.

Yes, they indeed have a certain campy appeal.  Better late than never AFA that aspect for you.  :wink:

Here's one I put together a cover and correct interior for recently;

City Of The Living Dead.jpg

 

I think some of it also is because it's truly part of the history of comics.  Kind of like "wth, I thought they only had Father Knows Best and Howdy Doody type stuff back then".  Then you see stuff like PCH and think "this is like discovering a land lost in time". lol.  I've always wanted to collect sci-fi and space-related stuff from the GA, but only recently even knew PCH covers existed.  After falling in love with those two, I'm pretty much collecting anything within budgetary-reason I can.  For the rest of the stuff you guys post in threads like this, I'm content to just drool at what I'm missing out on.  That's an awesome cover.  I always love seeing stuff I've never seen before and that cover may qualify.

I got bit in 1977 when my dad brought me the book Horror Comics of the 1950's as a Christmas present.

I got that book from my girlfriend when it came out. To this day, TFTC #23 on the dust jacket is probably my favorite EC horror cover. She sure was a cutie…:x
